PBKS vs RR: Felt No Pressure, It's Still The Same Game - Prasidh Krishna On Being A High Purchase Buy In The IPL 2022 Auction
Rajasthan Royals (RR) pacer Prasidh Krishna said that he hasn’t felt the pressure of his high purchase tag while playing for his team in the ongoing IPL 2022 season.
Prasidh was bought for INR 10 crores in the mega auction, 10 times higher than the base price that he has set. He has done well for RR, picking up 12 wickets in 10 matches so far. Occasionally, he has been expensive but his effectiveness in the powerplay has helped the team.
“I have felt absolutely no pressure (on being a high purchase buy in the auctions). It is still the same game and looking forward to doing my best in every game. We haven’t played good cricket over the last couple of matches, we have made mistakes, but we’re looking forward to go out there and enjoy ourselves, make lesser mistakes,” Prasidh was quoted as saying ahead of their game against RR.
“I have spent some time with Brett Lee before and that has helped me” – Prasidh Krishna
Krishna said that he has learned a lot from watching the Indian pacers in operation, particularly the current bowling attack comprising Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ishant Sharma. However, the time he spent with former Aussie bowler, Brett Lee, has made the most impact on his bowling.
“It’s come down to the heroes we’ve grown up seeing, the Bumrahs, the Shamis, the Ishants, there are a lot of bowlers who bowl fast and whom we can look up to. We can see them playing here and learning from them. I’ve grown up watching Brett Lee, he was really fast. I have spent some time with him before and that has helped me.”
“It comes down to preparations, when you’re honing your skills in the nets, it comes down to how you lean your skills, at the games, there’s a lot of pressure and it all comes down to executing your skills. It is quite hot, so we have spent less time before the game, do only how much you need to do,” Krishna added.
